Letters to my Hospital Internes, Past and Present.
Authors: Casey A. Wood
Journal: JAMA (1895)

London, July 1, 1895. <h3>Gentlemen:</h3> —Undoubtedly there are some forms of service which must ever leave the recipient in the debt of the donor. In looking back at the work done for me by you, during my attendance at Cook County Hospital, the Alexian Bros., the Emergency Hospital and the Hospital of the Post Graduate Medical School it occurred to me that I might at least acknowledge certain obligations of this kind by recounting some of my experiences during a short trip abroad. I shall endeavor to avoid the style of the medical guide book and beg to assure you that I will speak only of those men and those things that came under my own personal observation. I might also explain that, although this visit to the English and continental clinics has been a hurried one, its value to you is possibly somewhat enhanced by the fact that I
Surgical treatment of morbid obesity
Authors: J. P. Callan
Journal: JAMA (1979)

The consensus reached at the National Institutes of Health Consensus Development Conference on surgical treatment of morbid obesity recently held in Bethesda, Md, was that surgical intervention in morbid obesity should be confined to persons who suffer from physical or emotional complications where medical methods have previously failed. Morbid obesity was defined by participants as 45 kg overweight or 200% or more of desirable weight, according to Metropolitan Life Insurance Company standards. While conferees agreed that conventional treatments of dieting and fasting are ineffective for most sufferers, they disagreed on preferred surgical technique for the condition. The two most common surgical procedures for overweight are jejunoileal intestine bypass and gastric bypass. The former is more established and contributes to greater weight loss, but it also involves more complications, such as severe diarrhea, flatulence, liver failure, arthritis, and possibly cancer of the colon, noted University of Minnesota surgeon Henry Buckwald, MD.

<h3>THE ABRAHAM JACOBI MEMORIAL FUND</h3> The committee for the Abraham Jacobi Memorial Fund in the Section on Diseases of Children wishes to make the following report for the year ending May 23, 1925: Receipts: The amount left each year after paying expenses is to be put into the permanent sinking fund, which with its accrued interest will be allowed to reach the sum of $10,000, after which its interest will be spent for pediatric grants and investigations, for the expenses of foreign guests, etc. The usual early subscriptions will cover the cost of Transactions sent to the members, for secretarial expenses, such as printing and mailing, and the balance added to the sinking fund. At the suggestion of Drs. Talbot and Mulherin, the committee has decided to ask that all who feel so inclined donate an amount additional to their usual subscription to be placed at once in the sinking

in abstracts, 19 guidelines for reporting crossover trials, 20 and a uniform system for grading the published evidence. 21They were also asked to raise the quality of reporting relative risks and odds ratios in abstracts, 22 improve statistical and methodological content of the advice to contributors, 23 24 and rigorously implement existing policies. 25-27 Apart from improving the quality of published literature, better reporting should speed up the advent of trial banks-open access electronic knowledge bases that can capture in detail aspects of trial design, execution, and results in a form that computers can understand. 28Decision support systems can then use these data more selectively, providing clinician friendly computer assistance for critical appraisal and evidence based practice.Sim reported that trialists found it easier to enter their data into the trial bank than to write a traditional research paper, and that readers found it easier to extract information about the trial-surely a sign that the days of journals reporting trials are numbered.Sim went on to describe a compelling vision of the future in which electronic patient records are dragged and dropped into databases and automatically open up boxes with relevant evidence for managing that particular patient.It may not be long before such powerful systems are on doctors' desktops.Professional and moral responsibility to ensure that those boxes contain reliable information that will most benefit patients lies with us all.

Mesenchymal origin of hepatic stellate cells, submesothelial cells, and perivascular mesenchymal cells during mouse liver development
Authors: Giuliano Ramadori, Tümen Mansuroglu
Journal: Hepatology (2009)

The mesothelial cells which are desmin-positive but negative for smooth muscle actin-alpha (SMAα). The perivascular mesenchymal cells which are desmin and SMA-positive with single desmin-positive SMA-negative cells. The parenchymal mesenchymal cells (hepatic stellate cells [HSCs]) which are desmin-positive and SMAα-negative with single exceptions (SMAα-positive and desmin-positive). Could the single desmin-positive and SMAα-positive cells of the parenchyma (in Fig. 2E,F of Asahina et al.) represent the cells of the arterial capillary of the sinusoids? Did the enriched HSC population contain SMAα RNA? Is it possible that the desmin-positive, SMAα-negative cells (HSCs) do not survive in culture? If they survive (ALCAM-high) acquiring the myofibroblastic phenotype, does the SMAα gene expression decrease when they are cultured on collagen in the presence of retinol and palmitic acid, and does ALCAM remain positive (immunocytology)? Is it possible to make similar experiments using enriched HSCs?

Computed tomography to evaluate chronic sinusitis
Authors: R. Metson
Journal: JAMA (1994)

<h3>To the Editor.</h3> —The recent article by Dr Newman and associates<sup>1</sup>demonstrated a strong correlation between extensive sinus disease on CT scan and peripheral eosinophilia. This relationship was highly significant even in patients without a history of wheezing or specific IgE antibodies. They suggested that sinus inflammation, rather than asthma or allergy, is the stimulus for the eosinophilia. We have observed an interesting relationship between peripheral eosinophilia and chronic sinusitis in patients with nasal polyps. The Figure demonstrates monthly eosinophil counts in a 47-year-old man with nasal polyposis and asthma. These counts dropped dramatically when the polyp load was reduced by either surgical polypectomy or a methylprednisolone bolus of 20 mg per day for 2 weeks with a 2-week taper. A rebound in eosinophil counts was observed following both surgical and medical therapies, corresponding to a recurrence of the polyps on clinical examination. Newman et al did not report

Surprising Findings Following a Belgian Food Contamination with Polychlorobiphenyls and Dioxins
Authors: Paul J. C. Schepens, Adrian Covaci, Philippe G. Jorens, Luc Hens, Simon Scharpe, Nik van Larebeke
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (2001)

We found that 12.1% of Belgian export meat samples from chicken or pork, unrelated to the PCB/dioxin crisis from 1999, contained more than 50 ng polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)/g fat and that 6.5% of samples contain more than 20 ng/g fat for the sum of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane (DDT) and its metabolites. Part of this background contamination stems from imported animal feed ingredients (fish flour and grains), sometimes contaminated by recent use of DDT, as can be deduced from the ratio between DDT and its main metabolite, 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethylene (DDE). However, after comparing PCB concentrations in fish flour and grains with those found in meat, we suggest that the high concentrations stem from recycled fat. This is the first paper describing background concentrations of PCBs in animal meat from Belgium.

Role of Tissue Exposure and DNA Lesions for Organ-Specific Effects of Carcinogenic trans-4-Acetylaminostilbene in Rats
Authors: Hans-Gunter Neumann
Journal: Environmental Health Perspectives (1983)

trans-4-Acetylaminostilbene is acutely toxic to the glandular stomach and produces sebaceous gland tumors in rats quite specifically. Metabolism, tissue exposure to reactive metabolites, DNA binding and persistence of DNA lesions are implicated in tissue susceptibility, but nothing indicates that one of these parameters determines the biological effect. All tissues are exposed to reactive metabolites, liver as a nontarget tissue ranking highest. DNA binding in this tissue, however, is not irrelevant to tumor formation, but rather indicates the presence of initiating lesions. They can be amplified by partial hepatectomy and/or promoters, such as phenobarbital, DDT and diethylstilbestrol. Liver tumors are formed in high yields with these treatments, and mammary tumors also occur. trans-4-Acetylaminostilbene is therefore considered to be an incomplete carcinogen in these tissues and may initiate cells in other tissues as well. Apparently it lacks promoting properties which are supposed to be unrelated to reactive metabolites. It is concluded that DNA lesions do not reflect tissue risk, but rather secondary effects ultimately determine where the process of tumor formation starts and how fast it develops.

An economic evaluation of screening for Chlamydia trachomatis in adolescent males
Authors: M. Genc
Journal: JAMA (1993)

<h3>Objective.</h3> —To assess the cost-effectiveness of identifying asymptomatic carriers of<i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i>among adolescent males. <h3>Design.</h3> —Cost-effectiveness analysis based on cohort analytic studies previously reported and average salaries and costs of medical care in Sweden. <h3>Setting.</h3> —Adolescent males attending a primary care center for routine health checks. <h3>Participants.</h3> —Estimates of costs and benefits are based on a cohort of 1000 adolescent males and their female contacts. <h3>Intervention.</h3> —Screening with enzyme immunoassay (EIA), either on leukocyte esterase (LE)—positive urine samples (LE-EIA screening) or on all urine samples (EIA screening), was compared with no screening (no treatment or contact tracing). The effects of confirming positive EIA results with a blocking assay and alternative antibiotic regimens on the outcome of the screening strategies were also evaluated. <h3>Results.</h3> —Compared with no screening, the LE-EIA and EIA screening strategies reduced the overall costs when the prevalence of chlamydial infection in males exceeded 2% and 10%, respectively. Enzyme immunoassay screening achieved an overall cure rate that was 12.2% to 12.6% (95% confidence interval) better, but reduced the incremental savings by at least $2144 per cured male, in comparison with LE-EIA screening. Confirmation of positive EIA results reduced the overall cost of the LE-EIA screening strategy when the prevalence of<i>C trachomatis</i>among males was less than 8%. Compared with a 7-day course of doxycycline, a single oral dose of azithromycin administered under supervision in the clinic improved the cure rates of both EIA and LE-EIA screening strategies by 15.1% to 16.3% and 11.2% to 12.0%, respectively, while reducing the corresponding overall costs by 5% and 9%, respectively, regardless of the prevalence of chlamydial infection in males. <h3>Conclusion.</h3> —The use of LE-EIA screening combined with treatment of positive cases with azithromycin was the most cost-effective intervention strategy focusing on asymptomatic male carriers of<i>C trachomatis</i>. Positive EIA results should be confirmed when screening low-risk populations. (<i>JAMA</i>. 1993;270:2057-2067)
